Music

Course summary

Those who have an enthusiasm for music and enjoy creating, performing and listening to it should consider A-level music. It will allow you to develop further the wide range of subject knowledge and other skills you started to develop at GCSE. Music is a highly regarded A-level both by universities and future employers due to the diverse nature of skills developed during the course, which will equip you for a broad range of careers, not just in music. A-level music is not just a creative subject, but an academic one, which gives breadth to your profile. It counts like any other arts qualification and can lead to many different fields.
